It is called "World's Forgotten Boy" and is on Billy Idol's Whiplash Smile album. The song is about a young man being treated as an outcast and finally killing himself.
All my life I was teased an harassed because I was different and didn't fit in. At school I was made the butt of people's jokes. I was called "fag" or "homo" because of the way I dressed and because of my interests. When the teacher would call on me to say what I thought it seemed that everyone thought I was a suck up even though it was that I cared deeply about the subject. I often would have projects finished weeks before they were due because I had nothing else to do. I also got teased because I put more effort into my school work because I never liked doing things half-assed.
At home my alcoholic father would beat me and emotionally abuse me by making me feel like I wasn't a human being. I couldn't even walk around anywhere without people looking at me like I was from another planet and then making comments to the people they were with as I walked by. I never went to my Senor Ball either. I had people in the past pretending to be my friends and soon wised up to the fact that they were not my friends. I was the kid who got good grades and kept to myself in school. On the street or where ever I went I just kept to myself. I got to the point of drugs, alcohol and sex while "working" in the underground rave scene which was nothing more then drug-lords, gun runners, boot leggers, etc. But after three years I had finally decide this was enough. I had joined up because I believed there was nothing left for me. Being addicted to Cocaine for three years and spending my time drinking made me realize something.......that the only way I was going to make life better for myself was to just live with being teased and not let it bother me.
You stare at me and I'm holding on
My eyes are dim my breath is weak
And tears stain my cheek
Up there so high
Where the air is so thin
You look for silence am I giving in
All for me you bring crashing down
And still you condemn me
Oh no no shame
All my life
I'll not betray
I'll not shed a tear
One tear
All my life
Forever more, forever more
Sound towers will crumble down
I see everything is broken down
His heart is breaking
Recorded in sound
We need a miracle joy
We need a miracle boy
We need a rock 'n' roll toy
A rock 'n' roll joy
A rock 'n' roll boy
Now I know what's up for gain
What's up for grabs
And what's down again
All for me is crashing down
The end of everything
Every decent human being
Oh no no shame
All my life
I'll not betray
I'll not shed
All my fears
All my life
Forever more, forever more
Sound towers will crumble down
Well everything will be broken down
See his heart is breaking
Recorded in sound
We need a miracle joy
We need a rock 'n' roll boy
A rock 'n' roll toy
A rock 'n' roll joy
A rock 'n' roll boy
Now I know what's up for gain
What's up for grabs
And what's down again
All for me is crashing down
The end of everything
Every decent human being
Oh no no shame
All my life
I'll not betray
I'll not shed
All my fears
All my life
Foreever more, forever more
The road is long it lingers on
But my eyes are dim
And my breath is weak
And tears stain my filthy cheeks
Sound towers will crumble down
I see everything is broken down
Well my heart is breaking
Recorded in sound
I need a miracle joy
I need a miracle now
A rock 'n' roll boy
Hanging on a miracle tree
Hanging like noose
For you and me
Say yeah, right now
